Lawson Robinson Hawke's Bay Scholarship

The Lawson Robinson Hawke's Bay Scholarship supports a full-time student enrolled in a New Zealand tertiary institute in a programme related to land-based production industries at a Graduate or Postgraduate level. Applicants must be in their second to last or final year of study when receiving this scholarship. The recipient must have a familial association with Hawke's Bay and is or has been involved in the practical aspects of the industry to which the programme is linked. The criteria for selection are based on leadership potential and academic merit. It is hoped that scholarship recipients will ultimately seek employment in Hawke's Bay and pass on the benefits of their learning to the Hawke's Bay community and its industries. The scholarship is part of the Napier Port Hawke's Bay Primary Sector Awards, which have a long history and contribute significantly to the primary industry across the region, celebrating excellence within rural Hawke's Bay and business innovation and growth.
